. Descriptive catalogue of trees, shrubs, vines and plants of the Shady Hill Nurseries. Nurseries (Horticulture) Massachusetts Cambridge Catalogs; Trees Seedlings Catalogs; Fruit trees Seedlings Catalogs; Flowers Catalogs. i6 HERBACEOUS CLEMATIS DAV1 DIANA. C. Auriculata. 4 feet. July to October. A showy perennial; flowers solitary, on long stalks; yellow. Each, 15 cts.; $ per dozen. C. Lanceolata. This most remarkable plant is of the highest possible value. It makes a dense tuft of glossy foliage, which is rich and bright till hard frosts, and out of this mass of foliage rise a constant succession of tall slender stems, 2 feet high, bearing blossoms of the most brilliant golden-yellow conceivable, as large as a silver dollar. The beauty of these flowers is unequalled by any yellow flowers that we know of, and the long stems fit them for cutting for the house, so that there is, perhaps, no other perennial so valuable for summer cutting. Add to this superior beauty and perpetual bloom, the fact that they are entirely hardy and will grow n any soil, and you have a veritable floral treasure. It is the most valuable flower for the use of florists, who should grow it in quantity. 20 cts. each; $ per dozen; $ per 100. C. Palmata. 2f4 feet. July. Large lemon-yellow flowers. 20 cts. each. C.
